Hi @flexcodec ,
May I ask if you have resolved this issue?If not,please share the sample data. If it resolved , please share the solution here. This will be helpful for other community members who have similar problems to solve it faster.
Thank you.
Hi @flexcodec
If the user only needs to select a single value from the slicer (e.g., "Monday"), there's a simple solution using a disconnected table and the SEARCH
function in a DAX measure to filter rows that contain the selected value inside the comma-separated text field.
I've prepared a PBIX example to demonstrate this approach.
The pbix is attached
However, if multiple selection is required (e.g., selecting "Monday" and "Tuesday" together), it becomes significantly more complex. You would need to either:
create a table with all possible combinations of the values (e.g., "Monday,Tuesday", "Monday,Wednesday", etc.),
or dynamically split and normalize the values into rows and use intermediary relationships and advanced DAX logic.
Both is veri complexed and recommend to consider just to split the rows , 1 row per weekday.
If this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly
do not create relationship between two tables.
then create a measure

Thank you your solution is perfect but the problem that am facing is it's removing all the empty rows in the column.
please is there an way to filter without removing the empty rows but still doing the same thing ?
if you want to display the empty row ,you can try this

Thanks for the solution but it's duplicationg the value on the whole table
then could you pls update your sample data and the expected output?

SORRY BUT THERE IS NO DUPLICATED VALUE IT WAS A CONFUSION IT'S REMOVING SOME ROWS IN THE COLUMN.
EG: I'VE 0093 AS AN INDEX
0093 MONDAY
0093 TUESDAY WEDNESDAY
0093 MONDAY,TUESDAY
ONCE THE FILTER IS APPLIED IT'S REMOVES AUTHOMATICALLY ONE 0093 AND LEAVE 1. ONCE I REMOVE ALL THE VALUE ARE OK
